The ability of 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine (DDC), 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethylpyridine (EDDC) and griseofulvin to induce porphyria in primary cultures of mouse hepatocytes has been examined. Exposure of cultured mouse hepatocytes to DDC, EDDC or griseofulvin resulted in a marked inhibition of ferrochelatase which was sustained over the 4-day exposure period. Maximal concentrations of DDC (25-mu-M), EDDC (25-mu-M) and griseofulvin (25-mu-M) resulted in 14-fold, 30-fold and 9-fold increases, respectively, in total porphyrin in the culture medium. Analysis of the porphyrins accumulating indicated a predominance of protoporphyrin with all three xenobiotics. Addition of 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) to mouse hepatocyte cultures (10-1000-mu-M) resulted in much larger increases (up to 164-fold) in porphyrin accumulation in the medium and the porphyrin accumulating was predominantly uroporphyrin. These studies have demonstrated that primary cultures of mouse hepatocytes provide a valid mechanism-based in vitro model of the hepatic porphyrias produced by the dihydropyridines and griseofulvin in mice.
